The Effect of A Gift to the Dead
Ayatollah Ali Saadat Parvar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
Once a week, recite one hundred Salawaat and one hundred times Surah Tawheed, dedicating the rewards to the souls of your grandmothers, grandfathers, and both paternal and maternal relatives. This practice has proven effective in solving various issues, such as delays in the marriages of both girls and boys, as well as mental and family problems, provided you remain consistent in this act.

The Story of Palestine and Israel in Brief
The West Asian region (or as Westerners like to call it the Middle East) is the heart of the world. This designation is significant both geographically, as it connects various continents, and in terms of energy resources, since a substantial portion of the world's oil and gas reserves are found here. Oil serves as the lifeblood of the global economy today.[1] Any country lacking oil resources risks collapse; its vehicles will cease to operate, its factories will shut down, and its economy will stagnate[2].
Nearly a hundred years ago, the dominant superpower of the time, Britain, decided to establish a permanent base in the heart of our region in order to dominate the heart of the world. Consequently, they chose to create what they referred to as the state of Israel in the land of Palestine.[3] They gathered Zionists from around the globe and brought them to Palestine.[4]
The Zionists immigration to Palestine spanned twenty years, culminating in the establishment of the Zionist regime approximately 76 years ago in 1948, with the support of England.
The Zionist regime has expanded its territory daily since its establishment[5], a process marked by widespread killings and massacres of the Palestinian people in places such as Balad al-Sheikh, Safsaf, Deir Yassin, Tantura, Sa'sa', and Sabra and Shatila.[6] Furthermore, in addition to Palestine, it occupied parts of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon.[7] Israeli soldiers even advanced as far as Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. Essentially, the slogan of the Zionist regime has been that everything from the Nile River to the Euphrates River belongs to them. This continues to be openly proclaimed by officials of this child-killing genocidal regime.[8]
They now overlook 76 years of occupation, torture, and the killing of the oppressed Palestinian people, framing the October 7 attack carried out by the defenseless and vulnerable residents of Gaza as the starting point of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
However, the truth reveals itself...

The following is the full text of Imam Khamenei’s message of condolence following the martyrdom of Yahya Sinwar, chairman of the political bureau of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dear Muslim Nations!
Dear courageous youth of the region!
The heroic mujahid, Commander Yahya al-Sinwar, has joined his martyred comrades. He was a shining image of Resistance and struggle. He stood with unwavering determination against the cruel, transgressive enemy, striking them with his acumen and courage. He struck the irreparable blow of October 7 [to the Zionist regime] that will be remembered as a part of the history of this region. And then he ascended to the realm of the martyrs with dignity and pride. For one like him who had dedicated his life to the battle against the usurping, cruel enemy, anything less than martyrdom would have been an unworthy fate.
Indeed, his loss is painful for the Resistance Front. However, this front did not halt its progress in the wake of the martyrdoms of eminent figures such as Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Fathi Shaqaqi, Rantisi, and Ismail Haniyeh. Similarly, it will not falter the least with the martyrdom of Sinwar either, God willing. Hamas is alive and will stay alive.
As always, we will stand by the sincere mujahideen and fighters, with God’s help and guidance.
I congratulate the family of Yahya al-Sinwar, his comrades, and all those devoted to jihad on the path of God on the martyrdom of our brother, Yahya al-Sinwar, and I offer my condolences for this loss.
Sayyid Ali Khamenei
Mehr 28, 1403
[Oct. 19, 2024]
When the Shia of Kufa left for Qom as a result of the strictness and brutality of Hajjaj bin Yusuf Thaqafi, the supporters of the Umayyads ridiculed that the followers of Ali bin Abi Talib had voluntarily gone into exile taking the byways.
They did not know that someone who acts under the guidance of Imam Sajjad (a.s.), even after fourteen hundred years, his work will finally bear fruit.
Then, when the esteemed sister of Imam Reza, Hazrat Fatimah Masoumah, peace be upon them, chose Qom as her final destination, this city became the main center for Shias.
Imam Kadhim(as): A man from the people of Qom invites people to the truth, and a group of people who are as resilient as steel and unshaken by strong winds will gather around him. They do not tire of battle, refuse to succumb to fear, and place their trust in God. Ultimately, victory belongs to the pious.

The Holy Prophet (S):
O Ali, an hour spent serving one’s family is better than a thousand years of worship, a thousand Hajj pilgrimages, a thousand Umrah pilgrimages, freeing a thousand slaves, fighting a thousand battles under the command of the Holy Prophet, visiting a thousand sick individuals, attending a thousand Friday prayers, participating in a thousand funerals, feeding a thousand hungry people, clothing a thousand individuals in need, and directing a thousand horses to the war front for the sake of Allah. This service is even more rewarding than a thousand dinars (gold coins) given in charity to the poor.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) states: If matters were meant to resolve themselves automatically for the Mahdi, they would have worked out for God's Messenger, and his teeth would not have been broken, nor would his face have been scarred. It is never like this. I swear to God that his work will not be accomplished until sweat and blood drip from our foreheads.

Ayatollah Bahjat's prediction of the victory of Lebanon's Hezbollah in the war with Israel
The axis of Shiite resistance had always been connected with Ayatollah Bahjat for many years. Shaheed Nasrallah narrates: "Every year or two, we would travel fully and officially in the form of these delegations, and we were bound to visit Ayatollah Bahjat whenever we visited Qom".
In an official interview, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah said: I was told that Ayatollah Bahjat had stressed that we must be sure that we would win this war (the second war between Israel and Hezbollah, known as the 33-day war). This word came to our ears in the first week of the war and at a time when there was not even a speck of hope in victory for us. Of course, in the first week of the war, Ayatollah Khamenei also sent a message saying that this war is similar to the battle of Ahzab and know that you will win this war based on the Qur'anic verse and that you will become a regional power after the war [1].
In another official speech, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah said: "Ayatollah Bahjat gave us the good news of victory in the 33-day war" [2].
▪️ However, there’s been a famous narrative among the top officials as: "There will be three wars between Hezbollah of Lebanon and Israel, in which it will win two wars, and in the third war, Hezbollah's victory will be very large." [3].
Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah quotes Ayatollah Bahjat as saying in a meeting: 'You will have another war ahead of you, the third war, which is the last war between Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel. You will win this war too.’
Therefore, this glad tidings has been given years ago. But Ayatollah Bahjat points to his throat and implies that the situation will be very tough and difficult. But mentions that in the end, the victory will be Hezbollah's.
Recently, Lebanese Hezbollah officials stated that the third war with Israel will be the "last war" [4].
Ayatollah #Khamenei, too, in his recent message on the latest developments in Lebanon, gave a glad tidings that 'the Resistance forces will determine fate of the region with the honorable #Hezbollah leading the way'. [5]

We testify, O Sayyid, that you kept your words! 😭
And we promise to continue your path...
✅ When will the Zohour and reappearance happen?
Some say Imam Zaman's reappearance has not happened because his 313 companions are not ready yet.
Nonetheless, this notion is erroneous. The presence of 313 companions is only one of the prerequisites. Based on the narrations of Ahlulbayt (pbut), four additional conditions must be met, each of which is only one piece of the puzzle.
1. The power and authority of the Shia and union of the hearts of believers (#Iran and the axis of Shia resistance)
2. The security of the Kaaba: the place where the reappearance happens (the government of #Arabia will be weakened as a result of internal disputes)
3. Chaotic West (#Harj_alRum): It is a divine tradition to weaken great powers (most probably a world war will weaken today's great powers, esp. the US)
4. Destruction of Israel: The collapse of the main enemy of the Imam of the Time.
When all these occur, we can expect the reappearance of the savior of humanity...

Official Statement from Sayyid Sistani on the Recent Aggression and Attacks on Lebanon
In the name of God, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful
In these difficult days that the respected Lebanese people are going through, as they are increasingly exposed to the brutal aggression and their savage methods, which include causing large numbers of personal communication and other devices to explode, targeting homes crowded with citizens, even women and children, and launching intensive raids on dozens of villages and towns in the south and the Beqaa, which so far has resulted in the martyrdom and wounding of large numbers of heroic resistance fighters and other innocent civilians and the displacement of tens of thousands from their homes. The Supreme Religious Authority expresses its solidarity with its dear Lebanese people. It offers its condolences to them for their great suffering, raising its hands in supplication to God Almighty to protect them and repel from them the evil of the wicked and the plots of the evildoers, and to include their righteous martyrs among those in divine mercy and pleasure, and grant the wounded and injured a speedy recovery.
As such, the Supreme Religious Authority calls for every possible effort to stop this ongoing barbaric aggression and protect the Lebanese people from its devastating effects, and for all believers to contribute in any way to alleviate their suffering and secure their humanitarian needs.
May God protect Lebanon and its dear people from all harm and misfortune.

Happiest congratulations on the birth anniversary of the Prophet of Mercy and Imam Sadiq, peace be upon them.
Let's take a look at a few attributes of the one who's been introduced as a good role model for us in the Holy Quran so that we may learn and practice, and thus get closer to him and his most merciful Lord. 'And for sure, there is for you in the Apostle of Allah a good exemplar'
1. He was always the first to say salaam, and no one could ever precede him in salaam.
2. He treated the people in such a manner that everyone would think themselves as the dearest to the Holy Prophet.
3. He was usually silent and would not speak unless it was necessary.
4. Most of the time, he sat while facing the Qiblah.
5. He called people with their best names and titles.
How can you not celebrate mercy!?

Man is the creator of what he encounters
The architect of your soul and the combination that you face in the outcome of your existential disposition is none other than yourself.
This must be accepted.
This outcome has created and will continue to establish requirements for you throughout your life.
You have done things to yourself that have created family, personal, and financial problems for you.
A lazy person is someone who finds it difficult to get out of bed in the morning and complete tasks when assigned.
He must understand that the problem does not stem from external factors; rather, it originates from within and is rooted in the construction he has created.
Sometimes, the series of problems we face are related to the upbringing we gave ourselves, yet we often seek irrelevant issues to solve them.
Of course, this is not exhaustive and should be considered alongside the measure of divine determinations for existential improvement. However, this does not contradict the outcome of existential dispositions in external encounters.

The people of the right hand vs. those who are foremost
Question: Assalaamoalaikum Sheikh! In many Surahs, Allah SWT mentions the people that are foremost and the people of the right hand. Has there been a clear descriptive distinction of the qualities and characteristics of the people of the right hand vs. the foremost?
Answer: Wa alaykumusalaam dear Muhammad.
The point you asked is quite intricate and needs long, profound discussions. Islamic scholars hold various ideas and views regarding these two words and their meanings. However, I try to explain my idea in brief.
The people of the right hand are those whose books of deeds will be given to them in their right hands. The people of the left hand are those to whom the record of their deeds is presented in their left hands. The #Quran introduces a third group called the foremost ones in Surah Al-Waqi’ah. The people of the right hand are those who are on the right path. They have a proper belief and act accordingly.
The foremost ones are those who excelled in the path of God and are brought close to Allah (muqarrabeen). Contrary to the people of the right hand, these individuals do not possess a record of deeds. In other verses, the Quran calls the foremost ones as those who have been made sincere (#mukhlaseen). They do not undergo the stages of the Day of Judgment and will enter paradise without being held accountable because they have gone through these stages earlier in this world and have surpassed others. The Quran states that everyone is gathered on the Day of Resurrection except those who have been made sincere. These stages are intended for those who must become purified to be deemed worthy of paradise, including the people of the right hand. Those who have undergone these stages in the world and have achieved purity do not require further purification.
It is important to note that Mukhles is different from Mukhlas. Mukhles refers to someone who has just entered the realm of sincerity.
I hope this will be useful to you and offer the needed understanding regarding the matter. However, don't hesitate to ask further questions if necessary.
Iltimase dua!

Whoever recites Surah "Waqi'ah" on Thursday night, God will love him and will make all people love him. Such a person will not suffer from misery and poverty in this life, will not be afflicted by any of the world's tribulations, and will be regarded as friends of the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him). This surah is special to Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him).

A brief review of the verses on page 64 of the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Imran):
The enemies, particularly the Jews, can never defeat you; however, they may cause you some trouble. If they engage in battle, they will quickly retreat. They will never achieve victory.
No matter where, in the world, they are Jews face humiliation and contempt that overshadow their existence unless they convert to Islam or seek refuge in this and that. Furthermore, they have incurred the wrath of God, and poverty has been imposed upon them due to their denial of God's signs and the unjust and cowardly killing of the prophets. These actions stem from disobedience and transgression.
Of course, not all people of the Book are the same. Some are faithful and dedicated to serving God; they recite verses of the Book at night and prostrate in prayer.

The Mukashafah (spiritual revelation experience) of Ayatollah Haqshenas concerning the extraordinary effect of invoking "Ya Hussain"
The late Ayatollah Haqshenas, one of the prominent contemporary Shia scholars and ‘Urafa, narrated once that I was walking down the street, the veils before my eyes parted, revealing the devils and the significant influence they exert. As you may know, every individual is accompanied by two satans who constantly attempt to tempt them into committing sins or neglecting their obligations. I saw a lady passing by without a proper hijab. Suddenly, a young man's eyes happened to fall upon her. Immediately, he uttered, ‘Ya Hussain’. At that moment, I saw the satan being forcefully thrown against the wall, like a ball.
That's how Ya Hussain works...
Ya Hussain….❤️
Ya Hussain….❤️

Try to remain silent more often than you speak.
Whenever you want to say something, first think whether it is necessary.
Avoid speaking unless necessary, as many of our conversations end in sinning, lies, etc.!

Some brothers and sisters have been left hopeless and desperate by the sad martyrdom of the great Shia leader, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah.
Though we all are sad, but not regretful, neither desperate.
There, in Lebanon, the Pharaoh is seeking out and killing everyone who might be Moses... one by one... with American bombs and fighter jets.
This is not a new story. Other pharaohs have done this before....
Moses, who uprooted Pharaoh's foundation, was left on a piece of wood in the river and moved towards his destination.
God could have hidden other children from Pharaoh's eyes; He could break the blades... but he didn't.
However, God exists and acts as God.
Pharaoh was so happy to kill all those whom he thought they might one day become Moses and proudly returned to his royal throne; but suddenly the promised Moses comes to put an end to all this aggression, cruelty and oppression.
That's how God of Moses comes to the aid of His servants, and that's why the faithful never despair.

When you search something on Google, it will answer you the same way; for example, if you search, 'what are the disadvantages of the sun?'
It'll bring you a multitude of disadvantages.
And if you ask, 'What are the benefits of the sun?'
It will show you a lot of benefits.
The mind functions exactly the same. If you ask, 'Why am I so miserable?!'
It gives you a lot of reasons for your being miserable.
If you ask, 'What for am I that happy?!
It shows things for which you are happy...
Therefore, ask your mind good questions...😊
